Ex-mother-in-law Jenny Li says her son, Abby Choi and model’s husband had a ‘chaotic’ relationship
The former mother-in-law of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung feared the model’s disappearance two years ago would expose how the deceased had financially exploited her wealthy husband, a court has heard.
Jenny Li Sui-heung, 65, told the District Court on Monday that she thought it was “shameful” to talk to police about the “chaotic” relationship between Choi, her husband Chris Tam and ex-husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi after the model went missing on February 21, 2023.
The defendant, who has pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice, denied trying to mislead officers by feigning ignorance about her son while knowing he was wanted in connection with a 2015 theft case involving HK$6.3 million (US$803,200) in gold and jewellery.
Li maintained that she evaded officers’ inquiries because she felt their questions about Choi’s family situation were “redundant”.
